40 Years Old 5 Children a Very Much Needed Tummy Tuck!!! - New Haven, CT
UPDATED FROM redmen01
7 1/2 weeks PO
Sorry it's taken me so long to do an update my household has been insane trying to get my daughters medical stuff under control and realizing it's going to take a long time!!! Anyway happy with my belly not 100% happy because I stayed with stretch marks and I really wanted to wear a bikini I guess I need to try some on and see. Love the way my clothes fit!! Anyway it was a very hard recovery for me because I hurt myself and the female surgeon I saw when I was almost 3 weeks post op and pushed my 72 pound son in a cart I asked her about my stretch marks snd she said unfortunately all of them almost never gone. I asked her if she was me would she wear a bikini she said hell yes so I hope I look good with one I just am trying do hard to get past the marks and I can not :( anyway still gave no regrets because I look 100% better than I did but I guess I wanted perfection and that just does not exist!!! Would be great if they could figure out a way to get rid of all the marks I hope everyone is well I am sooooo happy my pain is gone!!!!

What did your PS say about your swelling?
You look great girl! Doing too much always makes the swelling worse as you know I'm sure by now...but I hear you on the jeans thing :) I too wore a pair of jeans (fat jeans) last weekend at not even 2 weeks post and I shouldn't have...they were one of my bigger sizes and although I could button them I shouldn't have worn them (even though they were my fat jeans, lol!) but they irritated my incision by the end of the day ! But the jeans will fit again, take heart! :)
See pic of my jeans on my review :). By the way you look great!
I know it's hard, but try to relax! All of this takes time, our bodies have gone through a LOT! How many days post are you now? I just had a set-back, and yes it's hard....but I'll get through it, and your swelling will stop. Take care girl!
Oh, and thanks for the garment recommendation! :) xoxo
Thanks sweetie today I am 1 month in and swollen like a ballon still I need to be patient I know it is not something I am not good at!!! You take care!!! Your boobs are sensational I would be surprised if he. Had to do a lift if I read your profile correctly!! Happy healing thank you so much for the encouragement u are fabulous!!!!
1 month today
Thank you! And no I was talking about a butt lift, lol!! ;). I'm not good at patience either, but trying to be better at it. Take care, eventually the swelling does stop! ;)
Oh wow I feel dumb lol I need one of those too but the Brazilian ones are yucky looking I think j lo butts I am not interested in that!!! Just a little small round shape would be fine small tho!!!! I have absolutely no butt what so ever
lol, no worries!! I don't need a big ol butt either, wouldn't look good on me, lol! ;)
I know what u mean listen to this now!!! I just got back from my med dr not The PS cuz I started to feel sick my throat and chest 2 of my kids have strep. so I have strep throat simplex 3 the worse u can get and walking phenomena!!! Oh joy!!! No more pain meds and I am so surprised the dr did not prescribe anything for me for pain because I have had this before and when you swallow it feels like you are swallowing glass!!! Holy crap I have been taking Motrin now and it helps with belly pain but not my throat at all I bought spray lozenges nothing!!!!!
I hope so I feel like it is taking forever :( 1 month out
Oh no! I'm so sorry!! I've never had strep, but I had a laparoscopic surgery in Jan and ended up with the flu a few days after, it was horrible!! Sending healing thoughts your way! At least now you know what's going on. Take lots of Vit C and drink plenty of water. Get better soon girl!
U hope you can take it easy and I feel for you since u have 5 little ones. Around 3 weeks, I don't think we are allowed to carry anything more than 10-15 pounds. I am just exactly 3 weeks as well and have a good and bad day with the swelling and tiring,
Please relax and get well!
I hope...
